The "Great Tribulation" was prophesied for those in Judea and Jerusalem to flee from those coming disasters. There was going to be 'great distress in the land and wrath upon THIS people", which was those living in Judea at the time (Luke 21:23). Christ forewarned of these coming disasters when...

You are only making my point for me. The direction of the "four winds of heaven" in Daniel 8:8 corresponded to the time that the four horns in that verse were in power because Alexander's vast Greek kingdom eventually became divided into four kingdoms located generally in the four points of...

You aren't even bothering to read the companion text of Mark 13 which is found in Matthew 10:16-23. This prophecy dates these words of Christ to a time period which would end with His first-century coming return in the generation of His own disciples. You are mistaken: it was NOT at the "end...

Jesus's vision of Satan falling like lightning was indeed prophetic, but it was a prophecy to be fulfilled very, very soon in His disciples' near future on Jesus's resurrection-day ascension. This same kind of prophetic language was used in the OT when the prophet Micaiah said, "I saw all...

I have not said that Satan's fall like lightening took place "at or before the crucifixion". It took place when Satan was cast out of heaven after the newly-resurrected Christ had ascended to heaven on His resurrection day. Once Christ was anointed by God as our Great High Priest that morning...

I believe in the Scriptures. If you want to put a Preterist label on what I quote from scripture, that is your prerogative. But I am not like any brand of Preterist you have probably encountered before.

But I do agree that Satan's deception of the nations was not operating during Isaiah's time in Isaiah 14. The deception that Israel was experiencing at that time was due to the idols which the people and the prophets had set up in their own hearts (Is. 14:4). Because of the prophets'...

You are misquoting scripture here. The little horn was said to arise in the "latter time" of the FOUR KINGS who had "stood up" and taken power in Alexander's divided Greek nation. The pronoun in the phrase "THEIR kingdom" refers back to THE FOUR INDIVIDUALS - NOT TWENTY. The origin of the...

I see a clear break in the chronological timeline starting in Joel 2:28. That phrase saying "And it shall come to pass AFTERWARD" tells me that whatever prophecy came before Joel 2:28 was separated in time from what was going to happen "afterward" in Joel 2:28-32. Peter told us when Joel...

The falling of Satan like lightning happened at Christ's ascension on the morning after His resurrection. Because of this, the loud voice in heaven declared at that time, "NOW is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our...

You are missing the point scripture is making. At "the latter time of THEIR kingdom" when ALL FOUR rulers had been in power, the little horn then arose in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes IV. This was "not in his own power" (Daniel 8:24). Antiochus Epiphanes IV took advantage of the power...

Do you suppose Joel's mention of the fires could be the Assyrian army pursuing a sort of "scorched earth" tactic of subjugation of Israel? Perhaps either that or just the ordinary needs of a large army on the move needing firewood for their campfires, especially with the Assyrian king...

When I did some research on Steve Gregg's website with his own studies on Joel, I noticed that he also shares your opinion. I respect this gentleman's viewpoint for the depth of study he has done over the years on the scriptures, but in this case, I believe he is in error in thinking that...

This is not coming from any "teacher" whatever, except from the scriptures which I just quoted from your immediate Mark 13 context. QUESTIONS FOR YOU: Just when are the authorities going to be coming to "deliver you up" to the rulers of a Sanhedrin council which no longer exists? Also, when...

Wrong again. That directive in Mark 13 was not given to you and me. It was given in person to Christ's own disciples in that specific time period. Christ said in Mark 13:9, "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and...

Of course not. I am saying that YOU are misinterpreting the whole chapter of Ezekiel 28. If you can't tell that scripture is giving us different prophecies for both a "Man" and an "anointed cherub" in this chapter, then no one can help you if you are determined to believe otherwise.

What is self-explanatory is that there is no way possible for the "MAN" called the "Prince of Tyre" in the Ezekiel 28:1-10 prophecy to be the same character as the "ANOINTED CHERUB" in Ezekiel 28:11-19 who was also called the "Prince of Tyre". Both characters died totally different deaths by...

Wrong. When Peter said by inspiration of the Spirit, "THIS is THAT which was spoken by the prophet Joel", it doesn't mean it was just one example of Joel's prophecy. Peter meant that it was the very fulfillment of what Joel wrote. There is more than just one "day of the Lord" predicted in...

That is incorrect. Among the angelic hosts of heaven there are the cherubim, the seraphim, and those who were called "chief princes" (like Michael in Daniel 10:13). Of that hierarchy of angelic order, there were some who fell into various sins over time. Satan the "anointed cherub" who had...

After Joel's prophesied series of Assyrian attacks came against Israel, the landscape and the people suffered accordingly. A nation's invading army sweeping through a district leaves devastation in their wake once they have passed through - just like natural locust swarms do to the vegetation...
